A toner for developing electrostatic images which comprises a toner particle produced by polymerizing a polymerizable monomer composition, nwherein the toner particle contains 0.1 - 9.0 % by weight of a modified polyester resin having one or more monomer units selected from a group consisting of styrene type monomer, acrylic monomer, and methacrylic monomer, 16 - 50 % by weight of a wax having a melting point of 50 - 95 °C, and 0.01 - 5.0 % by weight of a charge controlling agent; nthe resin component of the toner particle has a weight average molecular weight of 5,000 - 45,000; nand the toner particle has water absorption of 300 - 5,000 ppm. |
